really nice video, but i have just 1 question. Will you be doing winners and losers ep4. I think it would be really intreresting if u did it on captitals
It might be outside your comfort zone but it was definitely comfortable too watch. Learned new things because of this video and it was very interesting. Only bad thing was the image of the snake.
It's absolutely crazy how fungus has the ability to alter a plants function, take over the bodies of insects, and take control of our minds like psychedelic mushrooms do. Fungus literally has the ability of mind control.
we also have fungi living inside of us and controlling us! microbes live in our blood and keep our immune system and bodily functions going! it’s fungi’s world and we’re just living in it 🥺

@@rias3499 the most insane part is when you think about the fact that mycelium distributes nutrients to ALL PLANTS, even plants with other naturally occurring psychoactive compounds like mescaline, ayahuasca, DMT, LSD etc. the mycelium is keeping these plants alive and distributing nutrients to maintain these compounds! mushrooms curated all of the psychoactive plants besides psilocybin! it’s so fucking COOL, they’re so complex it’s overwhelming
@@TheSunnydaze13 100% Ken! You're on the money there. It blows my mind how mycelium is basically linked to absolutely everything on this planet. I think we need these fungal bodies now more than ever ❤️
It has happened in other organisms too. Look up brown algae, it has chloroplasts inside another membrane inside its cells! It's so cool how symbiosis eventually leads to stuff like that.
Needless to say, fungi have also played an inseparable role in evolutionary anthropology through their psychoactive properties. It's tragic that our governments imprison us for eating entheogenic plants- as if symbiosis with them were something unnatural. Great video- thank you for this.
@@concept5631 The stoned ape hypothesis (or perhaps theory, as you respectfully put it), whereby we became sapient, is indeed a very interesting motif in evolutionism. It is worth noting, however, that species eating foreign matter and receiving its benefits is something they have always done and in many ways should come as no surprise to evolutionists. [We are called homo "sapiens" because we have "sapience"]
This is exactly why I want to focus on fungi when I take my Master's in molecular biologi. It's extremely fascinating, and fungi have an almost supernatural quality about them. It's like they are the neurons of the Earth, or Earth's brain.

*the "video contains promotion" disclaimer appears at the beginning of the video* Me at 1:59: Of O2 (the telecommunications company)? Great video, as usual. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to find out more about such a fascinating topic. I had no idea that besides symbiosis with a single plant, they can also help numerous plants communicate with each other. With their incredible abilities, fungi absolutely deserve more attention.
BV The Montenegrin Mapper oh GOD would you fuck off with this shit? Just say you’re surprised. Why does everything have to be dressed up in these juvenile memes?

Fungi are a really niche thing to talk about, not much people would watch a video about...mushrooms. But WonderWhy made a video about mushrooms, and I respect that.
One Oak tree in the middle of London has a symbiotic relationship underground, that is said to measure 4 square miles attached to the roots of that one tree. That’s amazing.
The craziest thing I learnt in this video wasn't even about fungi, although there was still plenty of cool information about them. I had no idea that orchids were technically parasites, that's fascinating!
I have been in southeastern Arizona this week birdwatching and learning the trees and plants. I realized that none of the fallen trees had toadstools, and there were no mushrooms. Eight years after a forest fire, nothing has decomposed in this arid place. I guess that’s why the soil is poorer here. I haven’t watched the video yet but I hope to learn something about decomposition in arid climates with no mycos.
I have to disagree with the comment you made at the beginning of the video. Mycology is a fascinating subject to make a UA-cam video about. I've been a "fungus head" all my life, as these organisms never cease to amaze me.
As a first time watcher, I learned two things. 1) This guy's accent is hard to pinpoint, but I think somewhere in Scotland. 2) We should send fungi that can survive in space out into the stratosphere and see what happens.
Mushrooms send spores that can land on an ant and turn it into a suicidal zombie that will climb a tree to where the conditions are perfect, then clamp into the tree and wait to die. After death tentacles emerge from the ant that send out more spores insuring mushroom survival. See Zombie Ants. :)
This is one of the first--if not *the* first (unless you count the ones about time zones) videos you've done that deals with a subject apart from history and politics. Well worth it! Thanks.
seeing mycelium grow on a nutrient rich agar-mixture in petri dishes is really awesome... when you see it reaching out and spreading... and then you cut it up for more dishes. all that from a small q-tip wipe of spores. mycology is just awesome... like most things in nature :D
For the first 40 million years woody trees were around, wood was not biodegradable... until a fungus figured out how to rot it. And that's where coal comes from. Trees would be piled up so deep that when a wildfire broke out they would just burn for years. Which is also what caused one of the mass extinctions, a giant forest fire that just wouldn’t stop trapped a bunch of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and caused climate change.

There are several suggestions worth trying choose the top variety - there are lots available. grow them in the best conditions - some such as oyster muchrooms like cool humid conditions and may be put outside (I discovered these and why they work on Gregs Mushroom Grower site )
@Stephanie Hughes don't fuckin trust none of em. Money dont leave your hand till you see products in the other hand. Do your homework and know the correct shit so these jackasses cant fuck you over... It sounds harsh but if you pursue it you'll find out why I sound so mean. Either they're gonna try to fuck you over. Or out right get you to fuck in exchange for it. Wise up. Don't believe bullshit. And be ready for bullshit. As a female they'll try to get you fucked up so you'll fuck. Wise up...
@Stephanie Hughes dont get me wrong there are good psychedelics out there. But it's a sketchy market. The only way you learn it is experiencing it. Just be careful. (Most*) People suck... (I say most* because I wouldn't have made it this far if good people didn't exist too... Like I said be careful)

You know whenever Wonder Why uploads no matter the subject its gonna be a good video
I'll be honest by the time each video comes out I've forgotten the channel exists and have a pleasant surprise.

@@TheSunnydaze13 100% Ken! You're on the money there. It blows my mind how mycelium is basically linked to absolutely everything on this planet. I think we need these fungal bodies now more than ever ❤️
Because lichens are awesome, I wish they eventually fused into a single organism like how Mitochondria and eubacteria did to create eukaryotes
It has happened in other organisms too. Look up brown algae, it has chloroplasts inside another membrane inside its cells! It's so cool how symbiosis eventually leads to stuff like that.
Think u mean how a eubacteria became the mitochondrion when it was engulfed by an archaea. Still just theory tho
Needless to say, fungi have also played an inseparable role in evolutionary anthropology through their psychoactive properties. It's tragic that our governments imprison us for eating entheogenic plants- as if symbiosis with them were something unnatural. Great video- thank you for this.

WAIT, did you just say “rock-digesting enzymes”? That’s amazing
okay okay, how about this ; genetically modified fungi to eat out garbage 😳
@Andres Echeverry, No need, there are some that do so naturally. They can eat plastic, crude oil, or even consume radiation depending on the species.

Yes, my friend. That would be great.

Why did the mushroom get invited to all the parties?
Because he's a fungi!
Go mushroom! 🍄
Unfortunately for your joke, "fungi" is a plural form.
@@FromTheMountain oof
that joke has been around as long as the fungi have
Better:
Why couldn't they invite the fungi?
There wasn't mushroom.
Fun fact: coal and oil formed because fungi hadn’t evolved the ability to digest lignin
fungi: were working on it !
@@googavo1d hheehehheeee..
so if i make the joke "coal and dirt are mushroom poop" is that scientifically accurate enough to not be "well ACTUALLY!"ed by 500 people?
